What is CARE?
The Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education, Inc. (CARE) is a nonsecular educational organization dedicated to assembling research and disseminating information on the healing properties and therapeutic applications of essential oils. This is accomplished by the sponsorship of seminars, hands-on workshops, and the publication of various books and DVDs.
The focus of the program is to teach Raindrop Technique and associated skills, as originated and taught by D. Gary Young. This is accomplished through a series of courses that anyone can take. These include the History of Anointing with Oils & Laying On of Hands, Applied Vitaflex, Raindrop Technique, Emotional Release, Essential Oil Science and Chemistry, Basic Principles of Aromatherapy as well as Hands-on Practice and other Healing Skills.
The CARE Program also offers the opportunity to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS), a Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH), a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS), and/or a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI).
CARE Classes are unusual or unique in many ways:
(1) CARE Classes are small with no more than 10 students per instructor to insure close supervision in hands-on training;
(2) In CARE Raindrop Technique classes, a Raindrop Technique lecture and demonstration is given. Then, each participant receives a session and facilitates two sessions. Thus, each participant in the CARE Raindrop classes (8 hrs) gets to see a Raindrop, experience a Raindrop, and practice doing Raindrop twice with supervision. In this way, everyone taking a CARE class is assured of going home being able to do the Raindrop Technique;
(3) The chemistry and science portions are presented in simple lucid terms understandable by anyone whether having a background in sciences or not.
(4) All topics taught in CARE Classes are accompanied with sets of notes Puma kengät ALE | Puma Clyde netissä Osta Puma kengät 2017 given out to all students. There may also be a bookstore offered with books and DVDs to purchase that parallel and support what is offered in class.
(5) CARE classes are taught only by Certified CARE Instructors who have completed a rigorous training program that prepares them not only in knowing the material, but in how to teach the material as well.
(6) CARE Classes address all aspects of ourselves: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual and relate most class materials, even chemistry, Puma kengät ALE | Puma Clyde netissä Osta Puma kengät 2017 to scripture.
(7) Once you have taken and paid for a CARE Class, you may repeat it for half price anywhere, any time, with any CARE Instructor. Many have taken the entire CARE Curriculum more than once, finding deeper insights and understanding each time.
(8) The complete CARE Certification Program toward becoming a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) involves 23 requirements (164 hrs). However, once the first 11 requirements (72 hrs) are fulfilled, you are eligible to apply to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS) and Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH) which makes it legal for you to facilitate Raindrop in all 50 States and Provinces of Canada. Becoming a CRTS is possible only through CARE.
(9) Completing all 23 requirements to become a CCI makes you eligible to become a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS). Becoming a BCRS is possible only through CARE. Click on item in sidebar to the right for more information.
(10) CARE trains more people in Raindrop, Vitaflex, and related topics than any other organization in the world. Anyone willing and able to invest the time, effort, and resources to fulfill the 23 requirements of the CARE Curriculum can join the CARE Faculty become a part of CARE's global

These are just some of the ways CARE International, its Programs, and its Classes are different or unique.
Most people take CARE Classes for their information and training. However, the core of the CARE Mission is the Certified CARE Instructor (CCI) Program.

Puma kengät ALE | Puma Clyde netissä Osta Puma kengät 2017
Thus, CCIs may pass on their expertise to others who, upon completion Puma kengät ALE | Puma Clyde netissä Osta Puma kengät 2017 of the program, may do likewise in their own communities. In this way, the educational process of learning to perform and teach raindrop and other healing arts becomes locally available and self-duplicating with the capability of reaching thousands who would not otherwise have access to such training. CARE International is a self-replicating education program that will eventually reach millions throughout the world.
It is CARE's vision that some day proper therapeutic application of essential oils will become common household knowledge and Raindrop Technique will be a skill practiced by parents, spouses, and friends everywhere, and by professionals as well.
PROPRIETARY INTERESTS AND OILS USED: The oils used in CARE Classes are exclusively from Young Living Essential Oils, Inc., a network marketing company. All CARE Instructors are active Young Living Distributors.

Reviewed By Jerry O (SPOKANE, WA) Reviewed for a 2005 Mazda Tribute —4/3/2013 7:08 AM
Good solid rack but mounting on a Mazda Tribute is a problem. The issue is that the car side rails taper down toward the front which causes in the front aero cross bar to be very close to the hood. This doesn't allow use of the bottom clamp cushion or the long hex bolts in the front because they would strike the hood. I had to remove (not use) the underside cushions on the front crossbar and buy shorter bolts to effect the mount. But it seemed to work and the rack is fine.

(CNL) Alternative Energy Stock Outlook – February 2013 – Zacks Analyst Interviews
Historically, the growth outlook of alternative energy companies has been directly related to the state of the economy and inversely related to the prices of petroleum products. While that relationship remains in place, other macroeconomic uncertainties are weighing on the sector's fortunes.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. generated about 13% of its electricity from renewable energy sources in 2011. Globally, however, China leads the world in total electricity generation from renewable sources, helped by its increased allegiance in recent times to the alternative path. The dragon is followed closely by the U.S., Brazil and Canada.
The continuing financial strains in the Eurozone, slow recovery in the unemployment rate and capital goods orders, aftershocks of Hurricane Sandy and ongoing fiscal contraction continue to weigh on the recovery. This otherwise bleak picture is only partly offset by the steadily improving outlook for the U.S. housing sector and a stronger dollar.
The continuing financial strains in the Eurozone remain a headwind for the global economy. The region's problems are contributing to a flight toward dollar-denominated assets that is resulting in a stronger dollar, lower yields on term Treasury securities, and volatility in major European equity indices. The yield on the 10-year Treasury Note is hovering around a meager 2%. This has kept the spread wider between corporate bonds and the Treasury.
Overall, the outlook for the U.S. economy appears to be slowly improving, with a host of variables showing improvements over the last few months. The Fed's continuation of bond purchases with no announced end date and the improving housing sector have improved market sentiment. That said, the expectation is that the U.S. economy will continue to expand at a moderate pace, which given the problems in Europe and questions about China, is considered a favorable outlook.
Oil prices in the near term have strengthened, owing to rising global oil demand keeping oil prices up. Also, in the crude futures markets, money managers reversed course and increased net long positions. This added speculative pressure supported the rise in crude oil prices. A tightening global supply picture in view of the lower supply from the resource-rich Middle East has also helped. Offsetting this favorable view are the high U.S. crude stocks.
In our view, crude oil prices in 2013 are likely to exhibit a sideways trend. With domestic demand relatively soft and the global economy still showing pockets of weakness, the fact that supply will be outpacing consumption appears to be evident. With a slowly improving home front, the question now lies largely upon the growth rate of China and the recovery in Europe and the effect it will have on the U.S. growth momentum.
The apparent 'decoupling' between not-so-bad U.S. prospects and a sub-par outlook abroad has nevertheless a bearing on the alternative energy sector, primarily because of restricted government spending levels. This reduced demand environment due to overburdened government finances has come at a particularly inopportune time for alternative energy operators due to the sector's supply glut.
The gradually emerging solar photovoltaic (PV) industry fortunes are currently on tenterhooks. On the one hand, the core European markets of Germany, Italy and Spain historically accounting for the lion's share of solar products are fast nearing maturity. To counter this tepid growth, the companies are increasingly focusing on the Chinese, Indian and U.S. markets.
However, as things currently stand, firms without deep pockets may not be able to sustain over the longer run. The situation is made acute by the steady ramping of low-cost China-based players grabbing market share from the U.S. and European contenders who have a higher cost structure.
On the other hand, China's new solar power tariff regime clearly points to investors to look beyond the near-term earnings horizon for healthier performance. The U.S. Energy Department in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook raised its outlook for 2013 oil prices. Consequently, we believe that the oil price upside will boost the emerging positive alternative energy narrative.
A worldwide industry association for the solar photovoltaic electricity market, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), forecasts that the power generated from solar modules in Europe could be competitive in relation to conventional forms of energy by the end of the current decade. The major solar markets under survey were Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Britain.
A number of traditional utility companies are growing their alternative energy operations. But the fortunes of some of these companies, particularly those with significant fossil-fuel exposure, are less attractive than their peers.
In the utilities space, we are less optimistic about the prospects of Atlantic Power Corporation (AT), Cleco Corporation (CNL), El Paso Electric Company (EE), Great Plains Energy Inc. (GXP) and UNS Energy Corporation (UNS).
Conversely, favorable rate cases and stable sales growth in their respective service areas make companies like Ameren Corporation (AEE), Huaneng Power International, Inc. (HNP), Pike Electric Corporation (PIKE), TransAlta Corporation (TAC) and The AES Corporation (AES) more attractive.
A major growth area in this space is solar energy. The U.S. has a lot of catching up to do, despite enormous potential, to get anywhere close to the global leaders. Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is the U.S. trade association of approximately 1,100 companies in the solar energy industry. Per the SEIA, in fiscal 2011, the U.S. solar energy industry grew 109% year over year to reach 1,885 MW, which represents 7% of all PV globally, up from 887 MW and 5% of global installations in 2010.
According to the SEIA, this unprecedented growth was spurred in part by declining installed solar photovoltaic (PV) system prices, which fell 20% in 2011 on the heels of lower component costs, improved installation efficiency, expanded financing options, and a shift toward larger systems nationwide.
As per the SEIA, bullishness in the U.S. solar market continued in the first three quarters of 2012 with new installations of 1,992 MW already surpassing 2011's annual total of 1,885 MW. Going forward SEIA forecasts that close to 1,300 MW of PV capacity will be installed in the fourth quarter of 2012 alone, bringing the total for the year to 3,200 MW.
As for wind energy, per the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), the U.S. had a total of 60 GW of installed wind power at the end of 2012.
According to EPIA, the cumulative global installed PV capacity stood at almost 67.4 GW at the end of 2011, compared to only 39.7 GW at the end of 2010. The agency reports that almost 21 GW of this growth occurred in Europe. In fiscal 2011, the two biggest markets, Italy and Germany, accounted for nearly 60% of global market growth.
The number of markets reaching more than 1 GW of additional capacity during fiscal 2011 rose from 3 to 6. In 2010, the top 3 markets were Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic; in 2011, Italy led, followed by Germany, China, the U.S., France and Japan, each with over 1 GW of new capacity.
Here we take a look at the alternative energy space and attempt to identify this nascent industry's strengths and weaknesses.
Environmental advantage: Solar power is the most benign electricity resource. Solar cells generate electricity without air or water emissions, noise, vibration, habitat impact or waste generation. Over time, rapid population growth, depletion of non-renewable conventional sources, and escalating pollution levels will help shape a much more pronounced global focus on renewable projects.
The long-term bullishness is shared even by oil goliaths like Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDS.A) and BP plc (BP) who expect that by fiscal 2050, one-third of the global energy needs will come from renewable sources. And in the near term, Christophe de Margerie, the CEO of another oil company, Total S.A. (TOT), expects crude oil prices to average $105–115 per barrel in 2013.
In this space we are bullish on waste management service provider, Covanta Holding Corporation (CVA), which has tied the majority of its service contracts under long-term agreements with inflation escalators.
Fuel risk advantage: Unlike fossil and nuclear fuels, alternative energy has no risk of fuel price volatility or delivery risk. Although there is variability in the amount and timing of sunlight in the day, season and year, a properly sized and configured system can be designed to ensure high reliability while providing a long-term, fixed-price electricity supply.
In this context the one name we are bullish about is Ormat Technologies Inc. (ORA), which engages in the geothermal and recovered energy power business.
In light of the Fukushima Daichi episode in Japan, the global focus has tilted towards solar in a big way. Germany plans to phase out nuclear power plants by 2022. This move will definitely boost solar fortunes in one of its largest global markets.
However among the renewable energy pack we would advise investors to look for companies like rooftop solar energy systems provider SolarCity Corporation (SCTY) with an innovative game plan. The downstream solar company plays on its strength providing renewable power lower than the grid price to residential and commercial markets in the U.S.
Location advantage: Unlike other renewable resources such as hydroelectricity and wind power, solar power is generally located at a customer's site due to the universal availability of sunlight. As a result, solar power limits the expense and losses associated with transmission and distribution from large-scale electric plants to the end users. For most residential consumers seeking an environment-friendly power alternative, solar power is currently the only viable choice.
Environmental legislation: Alternative energy companies are increasingly benefiting from new legislation in the U.S. stipulating installation of renewable sources of electricity generation as mandated by Renewable Energy Standards (RES). As of now there are 30 states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. that have RES legislation in place. Another 7 states also have nonbinding goals for adoption of renewable energy sources.
At the federal level, Congress has extended the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC) to both residential and commercial solar installations until Dec 31, 2016. Also, under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), the U.S. Treasury Department had earlier implemented a program to issue cash grants in lieu of investment tax credit for renewable energy projects.
The wind sector has also benefited significantly from the production tax credit (PTC) over the last few years. It was started in 1992 as a part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Subsequent to that it has received life extension of half a dozen times. In the first decade of a renewable energy facility's lifespan, the PTC provides a $0.022/ kilowatt-hour investment tax credit benefit. Our favorite in this space includes Juhl Wind Inc. (JUHL).
Subsidy programs: Governments, most notably in China, Japan, Canada, U.K., Australia, India and the Middle East, have increased their financial support for solar projects. In China, governmental authorities recently adopted a national feed-in tariff (FiT) policy for large scale alternative energy projects. China also expanded the Golden Sun Program, an upfront cost subsidy program, aimed primarily at distributed generation.
In addition, according to the 12th 5-year plan for solar energy, the government intends to raise the 2015 goal for total cumulative solar energy capacity to 21 GW and to 50 GW by 2020. Owing to its Chinese focus we are keeping a close watch on Sino Clean Energy Inc. (SCEI) which operates as a third party commercial producer and distributor of coal-water slurry fuel.
In Europe, the European Union's goal of a 20% share of renewable sources in the energy basket by 2020 will keep the flow of new projects going. Specific solar energy stocks under our coverage that stand to benefit from this environment include Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (YGE), bearing a Zacks Rank #1 (short-term Strong Buy rating).
In Australia, the solar industry is driven by several regulatory initiatives that support the installation of solar PV modules in both rooftop and free-field applications, including the federal government's nationwide Renewable Energy Target, which has set a renewable energy goal for Australia of 20% by 2020. In India, the National Solar Mission includes a goal of installing 22 GW of solar power by 2022.
In the Middle East and Africa, several countries have announced sizable solar targets, although policy mechanisms are not yet firmly established. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is a renewable energy plan to install 41 GW of solar power by 2032.
In the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi has set a target of sourcing 7% of electricity supply from renewables by 2020. In Morocco, the government has set a 2 GW solar goal by 2020. Other markets such as Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Tunisia are also actively promoting solar and issuing tenders.
Fortunes tied to crude: Alternative energy stock prices generally rise and fall in direct proportion to the price of crude oil. While in times of high oil prices this may present an opportunity, it also increases volatility in the sector.
Currently we feel oil price is tied to Europe's stagnation, high domestic crude stocks along with lower production in Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. This prevents our outlook on oil to be bullish without a sharp spike in domestic GDP growth or at least improvement hitting the Southern European countries.
Per EIA, world crude consumption grew by an estimated 0.9 million barrel per day (bpd) in 2012 to a record-high level of 89.2 million bpd from 88.3 million bpd in 2011. The agency, in its most recent Short-Term Energy Outlook, said that it expects global oil demand growth by another 0.9 million barrels per day in 2013 and by a further 1.4 million barrels per day in 2014. Importantly, EIA's latest report assumes that world supply is likely to go up by 1.0 million barrels per day this year and by 1.7 million barrels per day in 2014.
Also, the International Energy Agency (IEA) last month raised its demand growth forecast for 2013. In its monthly market report, the Paris-based agency raised its 2013 demand forecast by 240,000 barrels a day to 90.8 million barrels a day. Steady upside in energy price futures suggests that these trends are not likely to be reversed in the near term.
We feel that there is a very small pass-through from sharp changes in energy prices to core inflation. Based on this assumption we feel that the latest slew of energy price rise would not have much effect on core inflation.
Questions about China's growth outlook remain a key source of uncertainty in demand projections for oil. On the supply side, growing hostilities in the Persian Gulf region due to Iran's nuclear program remains a key risk factor for the global oil complex. The Iranian threat has been a major contributor to the volatility in oil prices, a trend that is unlikely to abate any time soon.
Excess capacity: In the near term, the solar industry is faced with the problem of excess solar cell and module capacity. Going by the trend of solar companies citing sluggish demand and high inventory levels, affecting margins, virtually the whole industry is in a pause. The earlier rush in vertical integration by individual players for self-reliance in their solar wafer/cell needs has created a lot of underutilized capacity for the industry.
On the other hand niche players like microinverter producer Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH) is insulated by its presence outside the cut-throat commoditized solar module value chain.
The near-term solar module industry outlook is thus clouded by unnecessary inventory arising from a supply glut and a corresponding under-utilization of capacity. This has led to industry-wide sharply falling Average Selling Prices. Solar players like JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (JASO), STR Holdings, Inc. (STRI) and Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (STP) are in for a difficult near term.
However, seasoned players like Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) are making significant progress even in a difficult environment owing to its rising proportion of project-based revenue.
Recent start-ups: A large number of these companies are recent start-ups with limited resources. As such, quite a few depend on their customers' ability to finance solar projects and are exposed to continuing near-term losses due to start-up costs.
Companies such as Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) and Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (ASTI) come under this category.
Subsidy roll-back: Budgetary constraints have caused prime global solar markets like Germany, U.S., Italy, Australia, U.K. and Taiwan to roll back a portion of their grants. Earlier, sales of solar players from the above countries witnessed a sharp rise mainly fueled by the rush to complete projects ahead of subsidy roll-backs.
This would not come as welcome news for fringe solar players like JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS) and LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (LDK) who are already over burdened with discounted product pricing, rising capital costs and shrinking balance sheets.
The Alternative energy players may receive another jolt from one of the prime solar markets. Germany to cap subsidy payments after generation capacity reaches a certain target. Germany is consistently evaluating changes to the German Renewable Energy Law, or the EEG. Earlier it reduced feed-in tariffs (FiTs) by 2.2% with plans on the anvil for another round of rate reduction for the FiT in April which will be effective from May 1, 2013.
These FiT changes particularly impacted the competitiveness in Germany of large-scale free field PV systems and modules to be installed in such systems. Any further policy changes wrought by the German Environment and Economy Ministers and approved by the German Parliament will negatively affect the long-term demand and price levels for PV products in Germany.
Going forward, we expect to see a paradigm shift from a market hoisted by growing governmental/institutional support to one of stable growth. This may affect companies which generate a substantial portion of sales from markets like Germany.
A struggling U.S. labor market underlies the high levels of high unemployment expected to persist throughout the forecast horizon, moderating core inflation. In Jan 2013, the U.S. unemployment rate increased to 7.9% from 7.8% in Dec 2012. If this trend continues going forward, the detrimental effect on federal subsidies may be more pronounced.
Also, the 30% grant in lieu of the federal investment tax credit under the ARRA takes into consideration projects which started construction before the end of 2011 and are placed into service before 2013. Unless extended, this concession will not be available for solar installations that begin construction on or after Jan 1, 2012.
If the program is not extended, total tax equity availability could be reduced, which may adversely affect the ability to arrange financing for utility-scale projects and may adversely affect the attractiveness of the U.S. solar market.
Finally, the production tax credit (PTC) for wind powered generation will not be available for turbines that became operational after the end of 2013. If it is not renewed, wind energy installations in the U.S. may take a backseat. As a result, apart from a handful of biggies like General Electric Company (GE) and Siemens AG (SI), we are apprehensive about the performance of the wind pack.
New emerging technologies: The alternative energy industry remains an emerging sector with a consistent focus on the lowest-cost technology and cost-competitiveness using traditional means of electricity generation. This may prove disastrous for existing companies ruling the solar roost should a cheaper alternative emerge.
In this area we are keeping a close watch on companies like Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (OPTT). Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. engages in the development and commercialization of proprietary systems that generate electricity by harnessing the renewable energy of ocean waves.
Broader market stocks have pushed to new multi-year highs in recent days on the back of monetary stimulus from the Fed and other central banks. However, since the pulse of the alternative energy industry is closely tied to the swings in the macro-economy, until the picture becomes rosier we won't find many stand-alone alternative energy companies racing to new highs.
This is evident from the stock price movement of our actively tracked alternative energy stocks. Over the past year, the stock price of solar stocks was down -28.9% in aggregate and other alternative energy stocks were down -24.6%. In comparison, over the same time period, the benchmark S&P 500 index was up by +11.3%.
On the domestic front, although the economy has shown signs of improvement, proper recovery is yet to be seen. Assuming continuation of the ongoing trend we can safely assume we are not going to see any Fed interest rate hikes while U.S. payroll growth is on the borderline of stagnation. This along with the aftershocks of Eurozone debt crisis would keep Europe stagnant. Given such a scenario in the international arena we expect the cloud of uncertainty to persist in the near term.
With the fourth quarterly earnings season in full swing, we've seen relatively strong results for the overall market. However the strength is attributed to massive downward revisions earlier in Q4.
As of January-end 2013, total earnings for the 235 S&P 500 companies that have already reported results, was up +1.9% from the same period last year, with 67.2% of the companies beating expectations with a median surprise of +3.2%. However the picture becomes bleaker as we enter the fray of alternative energy.
As of Feb 4, 2013, total earnings for the 276 S&P 500 companies that have already reported results, was up +2.7% from the same period last year, with 67% of the companies beating expectations with a median surprise of +3.1%. However the picture becomes bleaker as we enter the fray of alternative energy.
A look at the Zacks Earnings ESP in the table below shows an overwhelming trend of misses expected for alternative energy players this quarter.
We nonetheless feel alternative energy companies with deep pockets and presence across the value chain will confidently sail through this phase smoothly. In this space we are bullish about First Solar Inc. (FSLR) with its growing utility-scale project business. The company is also in an advantageous position over U.S. Commerce Department taking a strong stance against Chinese solar players through anti-dumping duties.
Another bullish name on our cards is French oil major Total S.A.'s subsidiary SunPower Corporation (SPWR) owing to its extensive dealer network, systems business, growing leasing footprint and last but not the least the deep pockets of its parent.
To sum up, the fourth quarterly numbers are not going to bring sunshine back to the alternative energy sector. The attractive valuation and the moderate growth prospects notwithstanding, we feel this earnings season will not be the jump-start to higher gears for the sector.

Michele Redman wins Legends Tour event
Michele Redman wins Legends Tour event
Feb. 25, 2013
SUN CITY, Ariz. (AP) — Michele Redman won The Legends Tour's season-opening Walgreens Charity Classic on Sunday, beating Canada's Lorie Kane by two strokes in cold and windy conditions.
Redman, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour who played on four U.S. Solheim Cup teams, shot a 4-under 68 to finish at 5 under in the 36-hole event at Grandview Golf Course. She earned $30,000.
"The conditions were really tough," Redman said. "I've always liked playing in the wind. When you're striking the ball well, that's when you want to play when it's windy."
Kane closed with a 71.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
On April 22, Beaumont police released the name of the man who died after laying in oncoming traffic on April 20 as 28-year-old Michael Tyrone Motton of Beaumont. See related article at http://theexaminer.com/stories/news/man-killed-after-laying-down-highway-traffic-lane.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Hear a concert live Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
Okkervil River is an indie-rock band with folk influences and hailing from Austin, Texas. Formed in 1998 by high school buddies from New Hampshire, Okkervil River went through the typical garage-band phase when they self-released their first work. The band, taking their intriguing name from a Russian piece of fiction, paired with producer/engineer Brian Beattie in March of 2000. The result was the band's first full-length album, "Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You See". The debut was later picked up for release by indie label Jagjaguwar in 2002, and Okkervil River has been producing numerous EPs, compilations, and albums ever since.
A critics' darling from inception, Okkervil River is keeping its numbers up. The band's recognizable lyrics and music—full of deep storytelling supported by emotional performances—combined with frontman Will Sheff's quavery, paradoxically strong voice have built Okkervil River a sturdy reputation for satisfying, emotional music. Their last release, The Stand Ins, was the band's highest-charting record, reaching 42 on Billboard 200, and critical reception wasn't half bad either. Now Okkervil River is back. I Am Very Far is their sixth release, and the Austin-based band is pushing their music to even greater limits. Out on May 10, the album includes a string and horn section. Front man Will Sheff will also no doubt be adding what he learned from producing and collaborating with Roky Erickson and The New Pornographers during the band's break.
Okkervile River is on tour in support of their brand new release, I am Very Far. They play the Trocadero in Philly Friday night, June 3.

Premier League: West Ham boss Sam Allardyce calls for reform at the FA
West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has called for the FA to change the disciplinary process.
Last Updated: 10/02/14 4:11pm
He is still furious that Andy Carroll is having to serve a three-match ban after receiving a red card in the 2-0 Premier League home win over Swansea on 1 February.
An independent tribunal upheld the FA's decision to reject the Hammers' appeal against Carroll's sanction after he had tangled with Chico Flores.
Carroll sat out the win at Aston Villa on Saturday and Allardyce will again be without the totemic striker for the midweek game against Norwich City.
Allardyce told Sky Sports News: "I'm upset about the injustice after, as well as the original decision. I think we've been dealt a total injustice in the game of football.
"We've done all we possibly could to avert that injustice but we have to accept it unfortunately. My only hope is that the referees' system becomes better because that is obviously flawed in this situation.
"I think that the disciplinary hearing can be looked at and become better after that injustice. Of course after we went to the FA and the tribunal scenario, I don't know the outcome of that because I wasn't involved.
"Hopefully if I am, maybe they will help to get a better system in place because things like that decision should not happen in the professional game as they happen for me."
West Ham have climbed to 15th in the league on the back of a seven-point haul from the last three games and Allardyce is happy to be able to bolster his squad for Norwich on Tuesday.
"First and foremost, we have to maintain our defensive stability and if we do that, we'll have a great chance of gaining another three points," he added.
"I'm pleased to report that Mo Diame and Joe Cole are back in the squad for this one too. We're in a rich vein of form at the minute which has been helped by players coming back into the squad.
"Every game recently has been massive in terms of trying to get the team in a better position in the league."

ORLANDO, Florida — Dwight Howard scored a season-high 39 points, had 16 rebounds and was sent to the free throw line 39 times by his former team as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Orlando Magic, 106-97 on Tuesday night (Wednesday, Manila time).
The victory came in Howard's first return to Orlando since his drama-filled offseason trade to the Lakers. He endured a chorus of boos throughout, and tied his own NBA record for free throw attempts.
The majority of them came as the Magic tried to employ an intentional foul strategy. It backfired, though, as the All-Star center hit on 16 of 20 attempts in the second half.
The victory was the Lakers' fourth straight.
Jameer Nelson led Orlando with 21 points. The Magic have lost three of their last four and haven't won back-to-back games since December.
After a week of back-and-forth in the media following some perceived negative comments made about his former team during a television interview, Howard and Nelson spoke briefly just after the final buzzer and shook hands.
It was a light moment in what was mostly a hostile atmosphere.
Homemade signs jeering Howard with sentiments that said everything from "Coward" to "Kobe's Kid" were sprinkled throughout the Amway Center stands.
Boos rained down on the All-Star center almost every time he touched the basketball. They were followed by louder cheers when he missed a free throw.
The intensity was also ramped up at times, too.
Howard got tangled up in a verbal back-and-forth with the Magic bench at one point during the first half, and Kobe Bryant left briefly in the first quarter, bleeding from his right eye after a collision.
The Lakers led 76-68 entering the final period and scored the first eight points of the quarter to push it out to a 16-point lead.
The Magic battled back and closed to 91-82 on a 3-pointer by E'Twaun Moore with six minutes to play in the game.
Howard made four straight at one point and the Lakers got their lead back up to 102-88 on a 3-pointer by Jodie Meeks with 2:25 left.
The Magic kept up the strategy, but Howard — who was shooting 47.8 percent before the game — hit his final eight attempts to help close out the victory.
Howard embraced the negative environment from the outset and was the main reason the Lakers had a 50-46 halftime lead.
He had 19 points and 10 rebounds in the opening 24 minutes, and would have had more if not for his 9-for-19 effort at the line.
Howard started just 2 for 9 from the foul line, prompting the Magic to try fouling him intentionally three times late in the second quarter. He had found his touch by then, though, hitting five of six on those occasions.
With the exception of Tobias Harris' 15-point first half, Orlando struggled offensively. The Magic had decent looks at the basket, but shot a paltry 37 percent (17 for 46) from the field.
They were also thin in the frontcourt for most of the half with center Nik Vucevic playing only 13 minutes because of two quick fouls. He went scoreless, with just two three rebounds.
NOTES: Los Angeles now leads its all-time series with Orlando, 32-15....Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said that injured F Pau Gasol (torn plantar fascia, right foot) is starting to run again and "feels pretty good." He said he will continue to be monitored to make sure there aren't setbacks, but that "it's close."

Gingerbread and dual-core phones have been taking the stage since CES, stealing all the attention from other devices that do not seem as impressive, but still compete. Such is the LG Optimus Black, which we have seen at CES and MWC (Mobile World Congress) along with all the big brothers.
LG has just announced that the LG Optimus Black will be released in Europe this month, followed by North America and Asia soon afterward. Specific dates are not given, but it should not be long until this device hits the U.S. According to LG, the Optimus Black has been pre-ordered by 56 network carriers in 50 countries, and will be available globally across six continents.
Though lacking that juicy dual-core power, the LG Optimus Black does have a 1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP3 processor, which is more than enough power to satisfy most consumers. This device is also only 9.2 mm thin, which is something that could be very attractive to many of you, but it could also give it a fragile feeling. Other important specs include a 4-inch NOVA display, a 5 MP rear-facing camera, a 2 MP front-facing camera, and Android 2.2 Froyo.
If you want to see more details on the performance of this device, check out our hands-on article and video for the LG Optimus Black, made by our friend Russell Holly. There is also a press release after the break. As always, we like to hear your opinions, so please do share some comments with us. Will you be purchasing one of these?Show Press Release
Following successful unveilings at the Consumer Electronics Show and the Mobile World Congress, the LG Optimus Black has attracted pre-orders from 56 network carriers in 50 different countries. The phone will be available globally across six continents beginning in Europe before heading to North America and Asia.
"For smartphone users who appreciate both style and substance, the LG Optimus Black offers beauty, performance and mobility in one smart package," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Harry Newell's life had come to a standstill. At age seventy-five, he suffered from multiple medical conditions that left him with significant functional limits. His various conditions caused him severe pain and left him almost completely immobile. In August of 2010, he came to HealthSouth.
During his initial evaluation, Harry performed activities with difficulty. He needed assistance from two people in order to stand, and was able to walk only a few steps using a walker. His wife had to assist him with almost all tasks of daily living. "During my evaluation, the therapists asked what my goal was, and I said I wanted to walk again and have a normal life," Mr. Newell says. "They made me feel my goal was possible."
Harry began treatment with intensive Physical and Occupational Therapy. His therapy focused on increasing upper body strength and endurance and his range of motion so that he could complete activities on his own. Slowly, Harry began to make progress. He was soon able to stand with the help of his therapist, and eventually he was able to stand independently.
"I knew it was going to be a long process, but my therapists were very encouraging and I worked hard to do everything they asked of me and more. I worked best when my physical therapist gave me a certain number of exercise repetitions to complete." The hard work paid off.
By the time he was discharged, Harry was able to walk 100 feet with a walker and stand for about 5 minutes in order to complete activities. He was also able to complete tasks of daily living with more ease. He is now walking more at home and is able to enter his bathroom and shower on his own, which are things he couldn't do before. "I'm doing things now that I haven't been able to in a long time. I've managed to be successful in regaining my life," Harry concludes. "I cannot say enough about the Physical and Occupational Therapists at HealthSouth."
Our hospital provides care for those who are ready to be discharged from a hospital but not ready to return home. Treatment and care is designed to bridge the gap between hospital and home. Anyone who is limited functionally from an injury or illness can benefit from rehabilitation.

"I've seen the High Line change from a place we wanted to save that captured our imaginations, to a construction site, to a well loved park," Danya says. "This talk will cover how the High Line has always been a neighborhood connector—from the time that it was built, saved from demolition, designed with community input, and is now being enjoyed by the public."

A British university student has designed a phone that stands out from the usual array of black, grey or white plastic numbers - by building it out of bamboo.
The Bamboo phone is called ADzero and was designed by 23 year-old Middlesex University student Kieron-Scott Woodhouse
There's no hardware of software details for the ADzero other than it's "Android powered" and is "approximately half the weight of an Apple iPhone, while boasting a larger screen" - all the emphasis seems to be on the design itself. Quite rightly so though, it's a gorgeous looking piece of kit complete with a unibody design crafted from a single piece of four year-old organic bamboo.
"The whole experience so far has been incredible and completely unexpected," said Kieron-Scott. "Completing my final year and working has been challenging, but my course and the project complement each other well and it's a great start of my career. I can't wait to see my mobile phone in shops this year."
The Bamboo ADzero was originally set for China only but will now hit boutique stores in the UK as well. No release details as of yet - we'll keep you posted.

Duncan Kilmartin of Newport City during Monday's legislative breakfast, held at the East Side Restaurant. Kilmartin, who serves on the Vermont House Transportation Committee, said that Bill Stenger of Jay Peak Resort and Stenger's crew are doing the project right. Local and state zoning regulations will protect the region from any adverse effects like overgrowth, Kilmartin said. He also said that developers at Jay Peak Resort use the land wisely."The same thing will happen at Burke and the same thing will happen in the City of Newport," Kilmartin said. Jay Peak Resort recently purchased Burke Mountain.Rep. Mike Marcotte of Coventry and Rep. Sam Young of Glover have invited legislators to visit the region on Tuesday, Feb. 5. Marcotte and Young want lawmakers from the economic development committee to learn more about development at Jay Peak Resort; get a better understanding of the EB5 program, which is financing much of the project; learn more about the foreign trade zone; and tour the North Country Career Center, downtown Newport City and the Newport State Airport in Coventry.Marcotte and Young also invited members of the transportation committee and some members of the education committee to take part in the tour.Transportation is part of the region's development. A goal of Kilmartin, who serves on the transportation committee, is to address the road conditions between Main Street in Derby and the west side of Newport City.For more of this story, read Tuesday's Newport Daily Express for Jan. 15, 2013.

The Happy Snail Company
Gifts to spread joy and bring cheer
Hi all,
I will be spending a bit more time with the rest of the family over the next couple of weeks. Although my shop will open over this period delivery times may be a little longer than stated, to enable us to have a summer break.
We will be back shortly with more designs and products
Have a good summer !!
The Happy Snail Company is part of Sarah Bennett Studio, which is a design studio run from a terraced house in North London. I ( Sarah) am the designer/illustrator, as well as a mum of 2 girls and wife to Steve, who runs the business with me.
I graduated with a degree in Graphic design, back in 2006. I tried various career paths- mainly working in schools, as well doing bits of freelance design work. But I had a deep longing in my heart to create for something greater than me- a sense that I was made for more.
Last year I was made redundant from my job as a Technician in a secondary school and it was as though God was saying 'It's your time', so I business was born.
Sarah Bennett Studio produces fun and friendly products- that are encouraging and inspirational. We put our colourful designs on an array of products including: bags, t-shirts, mugs, greetings cards, postcards and more.
I'm really inspired by the concept of Random Acts of Kindness and so I design products that people can use themselves and bless others with- a planned gift for a friend or a completely random one for a stranger who looks sad. I'm a big fan of guerilla kindness- incognito gift giving- a more generous form of knock and run.
There's also an evangelistic side to my work. I'm naturally introverted and so talking to strangers can be daunting to me, so having a item of clothing or accessory with a Bible verse on- can be a real conversation starter.
There are so many people out there, who are struggling with various issues. People who need encouragement, people who need hope, people who need to be told that Jesus loves them. I pray that my designs will be part of spreading our message of hope and joy to these people.
My greatest desire is for my work to impact people in this way. I do need to make a living from my business but ultimately I want God to change people's lives through it.
If you looking for a bespoke piece of design and you like my style, feel free to get in touch.

Iditarod champion couldn't quit on Native people, back to defend title
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ' It took John Baker 16 tries to win the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. He had to think long and hard about coming back to defend his title.
The 49-year-old Inupiat musher from northwest Alaska has become an icon of sorts for Alaska Native youth, and he said he couldn't retire because so many people are counting on him.
"Seems to be a lot of excitement around the state from the win we had last time," the soft-spoken Kotzebue musher said prior to the race.
The 40th running of the Iditarod started Sunday for 66 mushers and their dog teams. The goal is to be the first to reach the old gold rush town of Nome, with the winner expected sometime early next week.
A grandson of race co-founder Joe Redington, Ray Redington Jr., was among the leaders Monday. He and Hugh Neff, who won the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race last month, were among the first mushers into the Rainy Pass checkpoint, about 135 miles into the race. Close behind them was four-time champion Lance Mackey.
Baker, who has 12 top 10 Iditarod finishes, was a few miles behind the leaders, according to GPS tracking on the Iditarod website.
After Baker spent time in the winner's circle last year with his lead dogs, Snickers and Velvet, he went to the Nome convention center to speak with fans.
After spending more than eight days on the trail, he was tired, bleary eyed and barely able to stay awake.
He said at the time he's more affected than others by sleep deprivation on the trail, and couldn't commit to running another Iditarod.
But once he caught up on sleep, he said he looked around and saw all the people counting on him to run again, from family to friends to the extended Alaska Native community.
"It would kind of be quitting people" if he didn't race, he said.
"Throughout the years, from the first time John Baker entered the Iditarod race, our entire region was there to support him, pray for him, encourage him, and then of course, for the 2011 championship, we were just doubly overjoyed; very emotional victory for so many of us," said Marie N. Greene, president and CEO of NANA Region Corp., a regional Alaska Native corporation.
When he isn't training for the race, Baker spends his time traveling to Alaska villages and giving Native children a message: Work hard, follow your dreams, and you can do it.
He was the keynote speaker last fall at the Alaska Federation of Natives, the state's largest gathering of Native people. He espoused those themes to a standing-room only crowd, and then was besieged for autographs following the address.
"He has really given our students, our young people the encouragement needed," Greene said. "No matter what our dreams are, we can keep on trying and one day we'll accomplish those goals, just like he did."
She called him a good ambassador for the state and all Alaska Native people.
Baker has seen one change since he's become an Iditarod champion. Children treat him a little bit differently.
"They were quiet and listening for once," he said.
Musher Josh Cadzow, who grew up watching the Iditarod, said "Baker was always the musher to pull for when I was a kid."
The 23-year-old Athabascan from Fort Yukon is a rookie in this year's Iditarod and a three-time veteran and the 2010 Rookie of the Year in the Yukon Quest.
"Hopefully I'm the musher to pull for since he won already. He did his goal. Now it's my goal," Cadzow said.
Mushing isn't a sport in which people get rich. The total purse is $550,000 for the first 30 finishers, with the winner receiving $50,400 and a new truck.
Baker estimated it takes a minimum of $75,000 to train for this year's race.
Associated Press reporter Mary Pemberton contributed to this story.

Forum Post: Weird Rhetoric About Money
Posted 4 years ago on Sept. 27, 2013, 10:42 a.m. EST by OccupyChinatown
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Note: I say "social democrat" to be internationally and intellectually clear. 'Liberal' is a much larger and more contested tent, and Social Democrat is also more functional and less ideological a label. What I mean is simply any person in favor of democratic-republics with a pro-interventionist or wealth transfer model of non-totalitarian statism.
They say money can't buy you happiness, that money isn't everything, and that money causes as many problems as it solves. What's unusual isn't the statements, but the implied criticism: the speaker seems somehow betrayed when his cashbook fails to be simeaultaneously Nirvana, the Universe and omnibenevolent. Just how the attributes of God almighty came to be expected of the medium of exchange I don't know; but I know it can't be blamed on any view attributable to 'capitalism' - in either its benign or malignant form.
Certainly, it is the Social Democrat who most nearly approximates this fanciful view: that money will transform reality like the song of Iluvatar. Are parts of your town decripit ghettos formed with violent tribes of uneducated semi-barbarians? Money, it seems, is what's needed. The question of civilization never comes up, except to be indicted; though its conspicuous absence in such situations is rarely noted by the Social Democrats (likewise: capitalism can be blamed for the failure of Third World socialism).
The Social Democrat attributes to money vast powers of control over the media, the State and even the mind. The opinion moulders, gendarmes and even our subconscious will is subject to the transcendental power of Moloch. Lucre simply need be poured onto a 'brand' or a 'campaign' and, ipso facto, success is guaranteed.
One may question whether money-power could possibly be so adept and flexible as to achieve all these ends as if by automatic law. One might think that guns, laws, ideologies and mobs could prove at least some obstacle to the power of Money.
But back to the original subject. These Social Democrats, who search the Godhead of Money and find its Spirit everywhere, are the first to repeat the initial phrases as to the failure of money to achieve such basic aims as personal fulfillment, pantheism and unmitigated success. How Money might exercise so much 'social' influence, yet be of negligible personal efficacy, is unclear to say the least. Why would people want it?
Money is a medium of exchange. As such, it can be used to buy things: or it can be sold for things, to say the same thing. Generally, people have little use for money but aim at getting something or other for it; some security if nothing else. Money is precisely as useful as the ends one puts it to, and precisely as useless as its owner. A good rule of thumb is that people prefer to have more to less, and insofar as they make a mess of it, it's hardly the money's fault. People make their own lives, either through lack of ability or lack of character; no matter how 'disadvantaged' or powerful a person may be it something of a tautology that appropriate choice of an aim and success at it are dependent on ones own adaptation for the circumstances and task. Some people hold that certain situations which hold one up in life are more appropriate to be moralized about than others (being hated as a known liar vs. being born before the invention of writing), but regardless of our feelings about it the causal significance is the same: the only thing that is ever wrong with anyone is a lack of power or taste. We should be at a loss to summarize any other flaw of efficacy that could not be encompassed thereby. Even a man drowned under and ocean has simply failed to possess the appropriate talent for surviving on ocean floors; and lest we see this as wildly unsuitable a standard we might also consider that all ignorance and failure of personal merit derive from similarly complex, variagated and obscure circumstances outside the control of any person living or dead. We are all subject to vast negative and positive social consequences based on psycho-social features of human prehistorical evolution; to what ultimate end I can not say, but everything from 'god' to 'equality' bears the imprint of the jungle mind.
One should be rather more careful when treating money as a magic wand (State indoctrination camps will become useful if we throw money at them!) or blaming it for failing to achieve what no one and nothing could; if anything, we have failed money, which never did anything wrong of itself.
